Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Consett: the essentials

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

Options we can specify

  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release

Rules in England

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Before you book in Consett

Do you cover Consett?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Consett and the DH8 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

We coordinate with you and your alarm contractor so the shutter can be tested without unwanted alarm calls.

How often should fire shutters be drop tested?

Most manufacturers and industry guidance call for at least one test and service a year, with more frequent checks for busy or critical shutters. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your fire risk assessment.

What happens if a shutter fails the test?

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
